Introducing The Kollective: “Mesmerized” Blends Soul, Lyricism, and Big Apple Spirit


A Fresh Sound Hits the City – Introducing “Mesmerized” by The Kollective

New York, NY – A brand-new single has just landed, and it’s turning heads with its rich blend of genres, soulful vocals, dynamic arrangements, and a sonic identity that feels both timeless and contemporary—much like the city itself.

Mission Control Recordings is proud to announce the debut release from The Kollective, titled “Mesmerized”, available April 25th on Apple Music and all major streaming platforms. This mid-to-up-tempo track is a vibrant homage to the spirit, energy, and heartbeat of New York City.

“Mesmerized” pulses with the essence of NYC—bustling yet introspective, energetic yet smooth. The track features a powerhouse lineup: Cleveland’s Christina Moune opens with velvety, emotive vocals that set the tone, followed by Ace Brav’s sharp and poetic lyricism. Jaysh adds his unmistakable vocal texture, while Kevin Bridge elevates the song’s crescendo with his soaring falsetto. Together, they create a cohesive, genre-spanning soundscape that captures the complexity and magic of the city.

‘Mesmerized’ is a love letter to New York—a city that moves fast but leaves room for moments of reflection and inspiration,” says Robert Ross, Chairman of Mission Control Recordings. “This single is just the beginning for The Kollective, and we’re thrilled to share the incredible talent on our roster.”
